Tigers cornerback Tre’Davious White was a four-year starter with the LSU Tigers defense from 2013-2016. He made his presence known on the football field as soon as he stepped in Baton Rouge and looks to do the same in the NFL Draft.

He earned freshman All-SEC honors back in 2013, racking up 55 total tackles (39 solo, 16 assisted), 7 pass breakups, 2.5 tackles for loss, 2 interceptions and a forced fumble as a true freshman.

White had just 35 total tackles on the season, but he also had two interceptions and an interception return for a touchdown. He was a big piece in the Tigers secondary in 2016 with a team-high 14 pass break ups and also 4.0 tackles for loss.

He was a first-team All-American and first-team All-SEC selection in his final collegiate season. He’s got patience in coverage and has experience in the punt return game. He had 688 punt return yards and three punt return touchdowns through 2014-16.

White serves as another LSU defender with pro-level skills. He ran a 4.47 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine. His experience against SEC offenses serves him for the next level. He’s currently projected to be drafted in the first or second rounds.
